RAIL TRUCK RIGGING - PART 2 - Lifting a passenger car and more !

Описание: Excitement from start to finish as we return to the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad Fitzwater Mechanical Shop in Independence, Ohio, to capture fascinating footage of massive rail trucks being fitted under a passenger car. Watch as heavy rigging specialists from Interstate Towing and expert technicians from the CVSR perform some of the most dangerous work in the rail yard. Each truck weighs 9 1/2 tons, and the passenger car itself weighs 95,000 pounds. Lifting and moving such massive loads requires twin rotating wreckers, and you'll see how it's done from start to finish.

Heavy rigging is the technical term for the lifting and movement of extremely heavy objects, and this sort of work requires top professionals in their field. This video clearly underscores the importance of focus and safety.

Grateful acknowledgement to Mr. Joel Turenne, Director of Mechanical & Facilities at Fitzwater yard, and staff members Scott and Matthew. Plus Heavy Rigging Specialists Dennis, Jay, and Jess from Interstate Towing for their cooperation during the filming of this video. Both teams exhibited skill, coordination, and professionalism.

I hope you enjoy seeing new things and watching rail yard action that is seldom shared on Youtube. If you enjoy this sort of content, please let me know in the comments, and all subscriptions are greatly appreciated.
